Move over Rorschach, we found a better test 
Turns out if you put the CIA in proximity to a woman of color expressing pride about her identity, people of all stripes will lay bare their mental algorithms, producing takes as hot as "Maybe diversity was a spy operation all along" & "What does it mean when the CIA uses words?"
I'm not going to try to reason w/ right-wingers, but for folks on the left, let me make a suggestion: if your dislike of the CIA is linked to their actions in Latin America, maybe it's good they are now using progressive language to appeal to people of Latin American descent
The CIA is going to continue to exist (sorry), so, as cringey as it might be, it's probably good for the agency to specifically use progressive language in recruitment & to have a diverse workforce. Given the the alternative is. . . recruiting a right-wing white workforce.
The CIA isn't quite as bad as the FBI in terms of the people it attracts, but, still, the default is conservative white people. Using progressive language to appeal to a more diverse group counteracts this setting and, again, is therefore a good thing.
People will inevitably read this as a pro-CIA tweet. It is not. I am saying that the CIA is an agency that exists and it will be a better agency if it is diverse & recruits progressives. This is especially true if you take issue w/ the CIA's past support of right-wing movements
